ebay - shipping abroad, would you?

I'm trying to shift an old Technics that's been sat in cupboard for ages and a couple of people have contacted me asking if I'd ship it abroad (Finland and Spain....I wouldn't even consider anything outside Europe). Its all boxed but its quite large and heavy so its not going to be cheap.

Has anyone had experience shipping ebay tat abroad...what would the shonkytonk hive do?

Had nothing but trouble sending stuff abroad on ebay in the past 12 months, mostly people saying the parts have arrived damaged or have bits missing. Even to the likes of Spain etc. Don't bother doing it anymore, too much hassle, especially with all the ebay "buyer protection" stuff
